Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master

Chapter 333: From now on

Chapter 333 From now on

Fluffy Create!

Iron-make, Shining Ultimate Nail! Darkness Burst Hammer!

When it came to building temporary dwellings at the new location, Espie and Slayer were very excited.

Bu~, Slayer, I thought that before, but thats too exaggerated! Thats just a nail and a hammer!

You have such poor naming sense! Generally speaking, you say create and just pile up wood and other stuff!

Slayer, you always say Shining this and Darkness that, but theyre all just normal!

What you cant tell the difference? Thats why children .

The two of them were bickering pretty loudly, but somehow they were working their hardest for the sake of the elves.

The elves, who at first had only been wary and hostile towards humans, gradually began to loosen their expressions.

Ah~, hey, hey there~, Espie and Slayer, was it? Youve been toiling away how about a bite of bread and some rest?

Ill eat!

Ah, Espie, no fair! Dont eat my share!

Ah, haha, plenty left, there be. Look, our shares still here.

Un! Mrs. Yiteas recipe was tasty, but this one is tasty too!

Youre so greedy and unrefined ah, its delicious.

They were kids, and most of all, they both put their bodies on the line to protect the elves. Also, theyre cute.

Say, Espie! Slayer! Eat with decorum, do not fret! There will be no leftovers or pilfering here!

Yes

Hahaha, Fair Lady Yitea is more akin to a mother now, isnt she?

Say, hold your tongue! Such musings do not occupy my mind! Its but mere speculation, akin to pondering upon the nature of parenthood~ or the yearning to have a child as soon as possible~ or such matters, so dont mistake my intent! Ah, yet, its not that I shun the prospect of my own offspring.

So its no surprise that everyone gradually opened up.

I thought it wouldnt be strange for them to feel depressed and gloomy after running away from the place where they had been living with only the clothes on their backs, but seeing Espie and Slayer, who are still children, working so hard, the elves seem to be gradually regaining their cheerfulness.

So where threads your path? Lady Dark Elf.

At that moment, the Chieftain asked Larouiph, who was sitting quietly next to me while I was receiving treatment.

What do you mean?

You shall not return to the ranks of the Demon King Army, will you? Will you journey back to the Demon Realm?

no.. I wont do that anymore.

So, you will pursue that first love of yours, Aka?

.

Larouiphs shoulders trembled slightly at the mention of Mr. Akas name.

Well, she cried so much when she found out that Mr. Aka was alive.

If its true, shed like to go look for him and meet him.

But

No thats not possible. Im already too bloodstained to meet Aka the people Ive killed dont number just ten or twenty. I am repulsive

It was war Larouiph didnt make such excuses, and reflected on what she had done so far and seemed to feel guilty about a lot of things.

Mr. Aka wanted to stop fighting humans and befriend them.

On the other hand, Larouiph had killed, tormented, robbed, and trampled many humans, just like in Ghenkan.

Anyway, rest assured, I will not return to the Demon King Army. I will not even speak of the elves. I swear by Aoniis life. Ill leave this place soon.

You have no destination in mind, do you?

Even so. Dying miserably in the field is also a fitting end for me

Saying this, Larouiph lowered her head again.

Honestly, I couldnt say anything rash about how serious she looked, but as Mr. Akas childhood friend, and most of all, the life that Aonii saved, I couldnt leave it alone.

I wonder~ in my opinion one path or the other it all leads to the same end.

And at that moment, with a sigh of exasperation, the Chieftain spoke.

Chieftain?

?

Not understanding the meaning of the Chieftains words, Larouiph and I tilted our heads, and the Chieftain said

I possess the gift to understand the cries of every creature that dwells in this world. Dragons, beasts, birds, insects, fish, and monsters, their lamentations, the screams of life dying from the strong eating the weak. ever echo within my ears. Some I have befriended, yet others not so much. Its the way of the world even amongst the beasts, some refuse the bounty of the land, demanding flesh to sustain their existence. So, as I listen to those screams, I see no difference between humans, demons, and wars. They struggle to eat. To live. However, in your case, reasons for slaughter are garbed in righteousness, in vengeance, emotions not known to the natural world.

Ive heard it in the past when Treainar talked about the magic of Mutza Gouro. At the very least, you will not be able to eat meat.

Thats right. If I heard a cow or a pig say, Help me, I would have a lot on my mind.

The Chieftain was always in such a world.

In fact, he understands the cries of all life in the midst of natures survival of the fittest.

From the perspective of such a Chieftain, all those who kill each other in war are the same

Say, Lady, Young man, I have a question for you Should the wars cease, and in their wake, all demons depart from this realm, leaving only humans behind, what fate would you foresee And conversely, should humans vanish, leaving only demons, what destiny would await our world?

I thought about that question for just a moment.

A peaceful world without conflict I doubt that

If it becomes a world of only humans, humans will fight among themselves If it is only the demons remain, the demons will fight with each other thats the kind of world were going to live in

Then Larouiph spoke with a stern expression, and although I felt desolate, I agreed with her answer.

And the Chieftain nodded and raised his face.

Indeed, that is the way the world is. Through centuries and eons, it remains unchanged. Wherever you go, conflict prevails accompanied by tragedy and screams In essence, whilst some among the aggrieved may clamor, on a global scale such matters are but commonplace, and perhaps its folly to dwell overmuch upon them, at least in this day and age of the world.

Its stupid to think that it should be normal, with how dirty Ive already become.

Humans, demons, and of course us elves, bear their share of blemishes, as one might expect. Some elves, puffing themselves up with the arrogance of being the supreme species, look down upon other races, which makes matters worse. Yet, despite our differences, there was but minor skirmishing with your kin, and no lives were lost. In fact, Lady, considering how your sorcery saved us all this time, one might even regard you as our benefactor, surpassing any petty grievances.

Im not sure about the last part of the theory anymore, but Im kind of getting the idea

In other words, the Chieftain is saying to Larouiph if you dont have anywhere else to go, you can stay here for a while. Dont get so depressed I guess you did a lot of things in the war, but I dont care are you trying to say that?

Forgive me, for I too have lost track of my thoughts along the way Yet, I believe thats the gist of it. Despite the talk of execution and torture when the Lady was being held captive, this recent turn of events must have stirred various sentiments. A man who risked his life to protect us and acted a fool for the sake of his friend of a different race the ogre who was moved to action, shielding us with valor and the dark elf who came to our aid innocent children toiling with pure eyes. This time, we elves were attacked, but we couldnt do anything. Everyone must have keenly felt the weight of their own powerlessness and the narrowness of their hearts, prompting a reconsideration of many things.

Whats that?

I couldnt help but laugh. But thats the way it is.

Well~, perhaps the blue ogre wished to aid not only the Young man, but the Lady as well. We elves were merely taken along.

Aonii ?

I mean, what was it he said, think about how you want to live in the future, and live again, the way you wish to live I believe.

tsu.

That happened while I was unconscious certainly, when I heard those words, I understood that Aonii was trying to help Larouiph as well.

Oh I see then

Hey, Larouiph.

What?

I dont know where Mr. Aka is right now, but at least the time I met Mr. Aka, what happened, what we talked about, what kind of games we played if you dont mind me reminiscing. can we talk about that?

Huh!? Aka?

I wont mention anything that might involve history, but there are still things I can talk about.

Then, I can at least do that

Ah please tell me. Memories of you and Aka.

At my suggestion, Larouiph nodded obediently with tears in her eyes again.
